Overall Satisfaction with GoTo Webinar

I use GoTo Webinar to remotely attend Continuing Education webinars. This software makes attending such webinars very easy. I typically receive a GoTo Webinar link, which then will produce an event that I can put on my calendar. The interface itself is not dissimilar to Zoom and other video conferencing software, which makes it quite accessible.

Pros

  • Simple User Interface that runs smoothly.
  • Links to webinars make it easy for attendees to register for and attend virtual events.
  • GoTo Webinar event streams tend to be quite stable.
  • GoTo Webinar makes getting CEUs easy and cost effective, since travel time is removed from the equation.
  • GoTo Webinar allows people from all over the world to attend a Webinar, which is good for any industry or trade.
GoTo Webinar's User Interface is simple and straightforward, which is what I, as an end user, prefer to interact with when I only use a software once or twice a month; I don't want to have to remember extra steps just to attend a webinar.
  • Zoom Events & Webinars
Zoom and GoTo Webinar are probably my 2 most commonly used hosting softwares. They are both quite intuitive and contain similar features and both have become quite user-friendly.

Did GoTo Webinar live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of GoTo Webinar go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy GoTo Webinar again?

Yes

GoTo Webinar excels at hosting webinars ... obviously. It is indeed well-suited and optimized for such events, which means a lot of the extras that Zoom or Teams might have are trimmed to not add a lot of extra features and buttons that might distract the end user, distract them as they attend a Webinar, or confuse them as they try to log on or register.
